Casio Men's Pathfinder Multi-Band Solar Atomic Black Watch #PAW1300-1V


Had the watch for 5 months, here's what I think
Pros: It does all what it says!! Slim design, light weight, large display easy to read at a glance, Solar charging is ok so far, I don't really charge it that much but the indicator is at High.
Timer, stopwatch and alarms all working good, digital compass is accurate, Atomic time keeping is really great.
Cons:
- Rubber band sucks!
- Altimeter always off, not accurate at all, tried to adjust it several times then gave up on it!! I'm not talking about moving to different places, I measure the altitude at home and at work, it gives me different reading every time.
- Barometer is a little bit off but close enough.
-The Auto backlight keeps accidently turning on and it consumes a lot of battery power so I had to turn it off.
-Always have to keep the User's Manual handy; I have to check it every time I want to change display settings, measuring units... etc.
- I left the thermometer to the end because it's the worst!!!!!!
It reads my body temp or around it, to accurately measure the temp you have to take the watch off your wrist and WAIT AT LEAST 30 MIN!!!!!!!! What's the point of having a thermometer in my watch that I have to wait ages, the response is so slow, I understand that it should pick the body heat but I was expecting it to adjust faster when you take it off. No matter where you were, at home, work or in your vehicle, if you want to know the temp at that moment... you can't SO I THINK THE THERMOMETER IS POINTLESS.
